Abstract

BFIAB, one of azobenzene derivatives, is a novel photochromic compound having stable amorphous property at room temperature. For optical switching application, we fabricated BFIAB waveguide which was serially grafted to transparent polymer waveguide. The waveguide was fabricated by soft lithography technique. Applying pumping light to the waveguide, optical switching was attained at 1300 nm telecommunication wavelength.
